I did a partial wrap in burnt orange as homage to the Texas Longhorns. I really like my Urban side runners installed today. Notice my vehicle number on the front door. We should all do that for something fun at meet-ups.

BTW I know some forum members have had challenges with Urban side runner installation. Unfortunately the tolerance is off by about 1/16th inch, which is enough to turn a simple installation into a wrestling match. The hack I came up with to make it pretty easy is to use ratchet straps. After loosely attaching the front two bolts, use a ratchet strap on the rear to offer support and crank it to get the holes lined up.

Dremel, I don't think so?! You need real material removal. A big round file and a strong arm, or a Bridgeport Mill.

Hi folks,

today I added a rear spot light - all by myself (I feel like Hulk now :D no, kiddin...)

It was really fun working with the Deutsch plugs, the crimping tools.

And what makes me really happy - it WORKS :D

Good advice. I probably wrestled the longest round with the sidesteps. Sore for days.

Hi Patrick, nicely done (y). How much does the cable bend when you open the door? Is there tension and if so, could this harm the cable connection to the light? Could you pls. provide a photo?

Hi Jens,

I think there's no tension when I open the door. I'll take a photo tomorrow, OK?

Put some headlight tint on the telltale display and the airbag lights.
Telltale drove me nits at night with its green headlight lights illuminated far too brightly.
I still don't understand why we need a light to illuminate to advise us that our lights are illuminated. But I'd guess the gubmint has its fingerprints on it.

I put 2 layers on the telltale. Much better.

That was one of my first mods too haha! Glad to know I wasn't the only one who thought those lights (and the airbag lights) were too bright.
